Club Report: The Groove (70's & 80's Night)

It was a fun night at 80's Night at The Groove last night as the wacky band Switch played 80's music and DJ Doc Wells (originally from 8TRAX) spun a mix of both 80's and 70's! OMG, when he put on one of those Bee Gees songs from Saturday Night Fever, it was like was being transported back to 8TRAX itself. It was kind of a small crowd though....disappointing....however a new cold front passing through Orlando was bringing pretty heavy rain and thunder with it and that likely kept people at home. Switch is a good band and they're fun; not so sure though that it makes a good fit into this club. But it is something different. We'll see how this goes as Universal's Mardi Gras brings larger crowds out to CityWalk next month.

No, nothing going on on Wednesday nights at CityWalk. The Groove will be open and a few of the others; some places may even let you in without a cover charge. If there are a lot of tourists in town due to a meeting or convention though, TG could have a decent crowd. Ditto for Atlantic Dance Hall. Usually dead on Wednesdays but sometimes really crowded if there's a meeting nearby.
